Looks pretty good to me  8) I've got some of these in the queue.

I usually put an undercoat of a darkish brown over the black base coat. It  makes the tones seem more natural and stops areas you missed standing out so starkly in photos.

I'm looking forward to some more.

They're all lined up in the que.  lol

(along with the pirates, the lava men, the werewolves, the legionaries, the bugs and the dust bunnies [/rhinoes.. depending on view])

I actually have no idea what Indians looked like, so I might have to gather some pictures and make a screen saver for my next painting session.  :)

Yes I still haven't figured out whether to go for white or no-white eyes..  lol

Second picture especially makes him look a bit piggy. Thought as much when I painted him. Haha!

Now there's a potential Indian-name coming...  lol

Indeed!  ;D

I'm certain a real Indian would have had that name at some point only in a completely literal meaning.  o_o  lol

Fine painting for your first indian.
You might use a wash on the large areas,
as the shirt and leggings.
